SU- to root to install
No mention in the article but does this root kit require you to log on as Adminstrator? I'd hope so. Then in that way if the Santa clip as to install as admin you can say cancel as no clip should ask that. Same goes for Linux.

In the end this is social engineering not an OS flaw.
